There was a great interview with Paul on some show or other where he told the story of how, just before the first take of My Love, Henry came up to him and told him he was going to change the solo that had been […]

Great reviews; so far i have only committed to the RRS double (‘original’) vinyl set.
One note, it’s Henry, not Hugh, McCullough.

McAloon, McAloon, Smith, Conti

IMO, Lizzy needs at least one Irish guitarist to be classic. So either Eric or Gary.

Known by me as the Sam Kydd channel.

even though I have them all on DVD, I’m still enjoying Public Eye on TPTV. Some of the stories seem half baked, but the performances make up for that.

Floyd had Atom Heart Mother as well.

I bought London Calling on original release, and have yet to play sides 3 & 4.

All of those, while silly or lazy, at least make sense. However, I give you: The movement you need is on your shoulder. I mean, WTAF? Paul makes great play of John telling him that the placeholder lyric is […]

This is so obviously the answer.

Both this and the Derry boys single pale into insignificance when compared to the mighty Rudi.

That was my opinion until I spent a bit of time looking at the recent Irish presidents. Whil they were ‘affiliated’ to political parties, the parties input into the election process is minimal, and when in office […]

As she has been on the throne for all of my life, I have a soft spot for Brenda, but the rest can go to hell (or Australia, whichever is hottest). Brian is a prick, you only have to read some of the ‘black spider’ […]

Shit

I haven’t seen any of the gigs, but have watched DVDs with Nad Sylvan, and I’m afraid I could only take a minute or so before I wanted to smash something. By god he’s annoying.

That would’ve been my choice as well

I think Give Em…is their best, along with sides 1 & 2 of London Calling. Surely you can’t think it’s worse than Sandanista? That’s where I got off The Clash train, far too much filler for me.

I love the new single, I just wish they’d put the mono tracks on one side, and the stereo on the other. Seems silly to have 2 versions of the same song on each side.

I know what you mean, but the ‘proper’ ending segues better into the next track, Ugly Underneath.

I think EC asked for that so it sounded less like him and more ‘Beatles-y’.
